Today was lovely, sunny, snowy-a blank canvas. I was craving a quick fix.

I don't know about other artists, but as much as I enjoy all that the holidays entail, I find it a wee bit disruptive when it comes to my art-making routine. i.e. there is no time to delve into sustained painting projects in the studio.

Taking an hour a day to get outside and interact with the
natural world allows for some art satisfaction until I can get back in
sync when the holidays end.

I am sooo enjoying your nature works outside. Your portal works made me wonder what a hiker would think, coming upon these - would he/she realize it was made by a human or that nature had twisted and created this? Lovely and exciting - I can see these being incorporated into future works. And, yes, all the comings and goings at this time of year do disrupt any quiet time in the studio!
